Introduction

In this tutorial we will be creating a moving platform.

An example map is available for download here.

Creating and setting basic model

You will need one from these models

• This one is bigger: models/props/light_rail_platform.mdl .
• This one is smaller models/props/light_rail_platform_02.mdl .
• After you make decided witch one is better for you, name it platform_model.
• Set its parent to platform_func, we will create it now.

Creating function

Create brush with dimensions of chosen platform. It’s not nessesary, but it will surely work. Tie it to func_door entity by presing [ctrl + t]. Set it’s variables as follow:

Property Name	Value
Change angles	this is up to you, I’m using: never (fixed orientation)
Change velocity	too, it’s your choise, but: ease in/ease out
First stop target	P1_S1_M //P = path #, S = station #, M as Middle
Initial speed	100
Initial speed	100
Name	platform_func
Max Rotation Speed	30
